Come together on Sunday 4th June to celebrate Pentecost.
Churches, families, friends, and neighbours from across Sheffield and beyond are gathering together at Sheffield Cathedral to worship and to pray. Our Beacon Event is one of ten happening in cathedrals across the UK between 25 May and 4 June, has been organised by the churches in Sheffield City Centre and is part of the wider Thy Kingdom Come global prayer movement, inviting Christians around the world to pray between Ascension and Pentecost for people to come to know Jesus Christ.
We’re really excited that Liz Adekunle is coming to preach. Based in Hackney, where she is the archdeacon, she has been working with Archbishop Justin to encourage churches to engage in witness and evangelism, hear them talk about it.
Canon Keith Farrow will be talking about his experiences of sharing his faith. And the wonderful Pete James is making a return visit to Sheffield to lead worship, along with Beth Keith, pioneer curate at the Cathedral and Harry Steele, priest at St Mary’s Doncaster and St Paul’s Wheatley Park.
What started out as an invitation from the Archbishops’ of Canterbury and York in 2016 to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer. We hope you will join us to pray with God’s world-wide family for the coming of the Holy Spirit, the witness of the Church, and the outworking of God’s kingdom of justice and peace.
